All Creatures

There's a new app designed just for dogs. Tindog launched in May, and is fashioned after the
popular dating app Tinder.

Users upload a picture and write a short profile of their dog. They can also upload a photo and
profile of the owner. Tindog is a meetup app for dogs, but also an app where dog lovers can connect
too. The app is a little vague about whether it's meant to be more of a dog-dating app or if it's
really for the owners.

Like Tinder, users swipe through photo after photo. If they like a dog, they swipe right. To
reject a dog, they swipe left.

I heard about this app from a reporter friend whose dog, Daisy, is one of the many dogs looking
for love on the app. I figured I'd check it out and added a profile of my fun-loving dog, Moe (He
would have filled out his own profile, but the whole "no opposable thumb" thing makes smartphones a
challenge).

It's definitely fun to swipe through all the photos of the dogs. Some users went all out on
their dog photos, dressing them or capturing action shots of the dogs at play.
